BS in Applied Physics

Program Overview

Physics is the foundation of all natural sciences, engineering and technology. Applied physics is a bridge between physics and other fields, such as medicine, engineering, astronomy, chemistry, biology and environmental sciences. A Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics prepares students to turn innovative ideas into practical solutions with real-life applications.

LAU is unique in its student centeredness. Physics classes are designed to nurture active and experiential learning, while using the latest technology and lab equipment. The curriculum includes courses in classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, modern physics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and solid-state physics.

Research is at the core of LAU’s professional life. Through their senior-study projects, students have the opportunity to participate in world class research conducted alongside faculty members. They also have the chance to publish papers in refereed journals during their undergraduate research.

With the discipline and training that goes with a physics degree, students will be able to follow various career paths:
